We are proud to name as this week’s Rick and Len Show Weenie of the Week… Nathan Meleski of Slinger who reportedly got drunk, lost his cell phone and then couldn't find his friends at Lambeau Field after the game on Sunday. Meleski convinced a Yellow Cab driver to take him 111 miles to Richfield on a promise to pay on arrival. Meleski had the driver drop him at a truck stop in Richfield where he said he was going to withdraw the money from an ATM for the cab fare which was $475. Instead, Meleski slipped out the back of the truck stop and fled.

The taxi driver called police who had no way to of tracking down the culprit. Or rather, they wouldn’t have had a way to track the culprit…if it hadn’t just snowed. With the fresh snow on the ground, police easily followed Meleski’s footprints to a downtown bar where they found and arrested him.

So,

For leaving more tracks than Keith Richards’ favorite needle.

For defrauding a cab driver taking you home from a football gave which should get you relegated to the "taxi squad".

For thinking he was getting away clean when, in fact, he was making himself easier to follow than the plot of an episode of Murder She Wrote.

We are proud to name … Nathan Meleski of Slinger as this week's Rick and Len Show....Weenie of the Week!

Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf who this week, while serving as special prosecutor in Brown County, recommended Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt be ONLY fined $4,000 and sentenced to 40 hours of community service for violating state campaign finance laws.

So,

For not tossing the mayor in jail...a development as big a disappointment to me as I always was to my parents.

For sentencing him to 40 hours of community service when serving the community is the very definition of a mayor's job. It's like sentencing a truck driver to drive truck, a paper maker to make paper or a highway worker to lean on a shovel.

And for ignoring all of our suggestions for punishments that included but were not limited to...

Lifelong suspension from the Lollypop Guild.

Making the mayor to resign from office and return to his old job, chasing after the kids who stole his Lucky Charms.

Forcibly shaving his eyebrows and using the hair to make fur coats for baboons going through chemotherapy.

And putting one of those "You must be at least this tall" signs on his wife.

We are proud to name the special prosecutor who recommended Mayor Jim Schmitt only be fined $4,000 and sentenced to 40 hours of community service...as this week's Rick and Len Show...WEENIE OF THE WEEK!

We are proud to name as this week’s Rick and Len Show Weenie of the Week…whomever is apparently stealing dogs in the Appleton area.

In each case, the dogs’ collars were left behind on tie-outs in the yard, and one collar was cut. All the missing pets were large-breed dogs weighing more than 75 pounds.

So...

For committing an act that proves that they are more deserving of getting collared than the dogs they are stealing.

For grabbing more canines than an overzealous dentist.

And for not realizing that dog napping should only refer to something your pooch does when he’s sleepy.

We proud to name the dog gone dog thief who appears to be responsible for the recent disappearances of large dogs in Appleton, Grand Chute, Greenville and Ellington as this week's Rick and Len Show....WEENIE OF THE WEEK!

We are proud to name as this week’s Rick and Len Show Weenie of the Week…a Platteville man who this week was caught on security camera drunk, in his underwear using a blowtorch to vandalize the Trump sign in his neighbor’s yard.

Two passersby did catch the man in the act, but instead of stopping him or contacting police, only gave the perpetrator a fist bump and continued on their way.

So...

For destroying a Trump sign using an instrument almost as incendiary as his own rhetoric.

For doing the most embarrassing thing you can get caught doing in your underwear shy of popping a boner watching the Golden Girls.

And for vandalizing the sign of a politician you don’t support which is un-American but doing it drunk with blowtorch in your underwear which virtually screams “‘Murica!” It’s just too confusing!!!

We are proud to name the drunken, underwear clad Platteville man who torched his neighbors' Trump sign with a blowtorch as this week's Rick and Len Show...WEENIE OF THE WEEK!

We are proud to name as this week’s Rick and Len Show Weenie of the Week…32-year-old Christina Ferguson of Amherst Junction, an anti-Trump person who Monday night lashed out against people she thought were attending a rally for the Republican Presidential candidate by spreading peanut butter over 30 of their cars.

When Portage County Sheriff's Deputies questioned Ferguson at her apartment, she claimed she had stayed home that night — but was repeatedly licking peanut butter off her fingers in front of the officers while speaking to them. After her arrest, Ferguson reportedly told deputies that “peanut buttering is better than firebombing, and Trump plans on firebombing everybody in other countries.”

Deputies identified Ferguson’s alleged weapon of choice as a family-size jar of low-sodium, creamy natural Jif. One deputy at the scene was quoted as saying “Fortunately it wasn’t chunky peanut butter, so vehicles didn’t get scratched.”

When informed that the vehicles she nutted on actually belonged to members of a conservation club, NOT attendees at a Trump rally, Ferguson, who blew a .218 on the Breathalyzer, apologized and said she was “just fed up about the entire election.”

So,

For choosing a “weapon” that’s damn near as nutty as she is.

For not understanding that getting busted using the CREAMY peanut butter to vandalize cars still doesn’t make her a “smooth criminal”.

For proving that not only “choosy mothers choose Jif” so do alcohol addled, tiny hand-hating Wisconsin liberals.

And for using peanut butter to earn this distinction which makes her the first EVER weenie that sticks to the roof of your mouth.

We are proud to name Christina Ferguson of Amherst Junction, who slathered peanut butter on the cars of 30 people she mistakenly thought were attending a Trump rally as this week’s Rick and Len Show…WEENIES OF THE WEEK.

The 29-year-old man and a 20-year-old male friend were dressed as scary clowns and allegedly chasing passing cars while his girlfriend apparently watched.

When police arrived they determined that the 29-year-old man and his girlfriend had left their 4-year-old child home alone for hours while they were engaged in their early morning Bozo-based antics.

For the man apparently being such a crazy bad father you could call him the Insane Clown...Papa.

And for behavior that's so embarrassingly stupid both their faces should be as red as his nose.

We are proud to name the Menasha couple who left their 4-year-old child unattended for hours early last Friday morning while they trying to frighten drivers, while the guy and his friend were in clown costumes as this week's Rick and Len Show...WEENIES OF THE WEEK.

Dart reportedly told police he created a crime-committing alter ego for himself so his son would start talking to him again.

For trying to earn his son’s respect…by boosting cars, a plan more poorly conceived than the West-Kardashian babies.

For hatching a plot that not only DEFIES logic, it challenges it to dual despite being totally unarmed.

And for coming up with a thugish alter ego that's less Breaking Bad and more Faking Dad.

We are proud to name Keith Dart of Pound as this Week's Rick and Len Show...Weenie of the Week.

If these two wacky kids can't make it work...
After only one week, Steven Avery has called off his engagement to this woman whom he only met something like 3 times. Apparently, after her appearance on Dr. Phil this week, (for which she was paid at least $5,000) he decided she might be a "golddigger". Really? I only saw a part of her appearance on Dr. Phil, but to me, her love for him seemed genuine.

Well, about as genuine as...

A $10 Rolex.

A Ryan Lochte robbery report.

A Brian Williams’ war story.

A soccer player’s injury.

A Wells Fargo apology.

That Nigerian prince who just wants your bank account number so he can deposit his millions in it.

FYI: I didn't initially post this and, as a result, have heard from a number of people wondering why. One even speculated that it was because of a complaint from MPG. The fact of the matter is, I just wasn't happy with my writing. But, by popular demand(?), here it is, for what it's worth.

We are proud to name as this week’s Rick and Len Show Weenies of the Week…Metaldyne Performance Group who less than two weeks after purchasing Brillion Iron Works for $14 million dollars, decided to shut down the whole damn kit and caboodle, with over 300 workers losing their jobs.

So, for spending millions of dollars on a company that they were just going to close in two weeks…which is a business decision that, to me, makes about as much sense as fishnet Depends.

For giving a big F U to dedicated employees who work with Fe (the chemical element symbol for iron).

And for putting more people out of work than a basket of dildos at a brothel for women.

We are proud to name MPG Metaldyne Performance Group...the new owners (and closers) of Brillion Iron Works as this week's Rick and Len Show...WEENIES OF THE WEEK.
